Answer: Decreased assets and liabilities.

Explanation:

Both assets and Liabilities decrease as a result of the April transaction because first, Cash is used to pay the Dividend which reduces the cash account and Cash is an Asset.

Liabilities also decrease because when the dividends were declared in February, Despot Inc had to create a liability in their books to cater for the payment of the dividends. Now that the dividends have been paid, that figure will be removed therefore reducing Liabilities.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Variable-ratio

Explanation:

A variable-ratio reinforcement schedule occurs when a behavior is reinforced based on a random number of displays. Thus, unlike fixed schedules, asking for dating partners do not always elicit a positive reward - which is why it is categorized as variable; the response can be positive or negative. It is also not an interval-based reinforcement schedule, since it is not based on time period. Variable-ratio schedules fit this behavior since asking someone out can get you a positive response once you tried hard enough or with enough people - but when it would happen, you cannot predict.

erik [133]

Answer:

b. The cable commercial

Explanation:

CPM or cost per mille is a measure used in advertising to determine how effectively a promotional message is getting to its audience. It is the cost of getting an advert in front of 1,000 people.

In this scenario when we calculate CPM for the radio station

$600 = 10,250 listeners

x= 1,000 listeners

Cross multiply

x= (600 * 1,000) ÷ 10,250 = $58.54

For the local cable commercial

$1000 = 18,500 viewers

y = 1,000 viewers

Cross multiply

y= (1,000 * 1,000) ÷ 18,500= $54.05
